President Trump's first full cabinet meeting

SOON.
SO I THINK THAT WE'LL DO, MOST
OF YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE AROUND
THE ROOM, BUT I'M GOING TO START
WITH OUR VICE PRESIDENT.
WHERE IS OUR VICE PRESIDENT?
THERE HE IS.
AND I'LL MAYBE START WITH MIKE
AND WE'LL JUST GO AROUND AND
JUST NAME YOUR POSITION AND THEN
WE'LL ASK THESE FOLKS TO GO BACK
AND HAVE A GOOD DAY AND WE'RE
GOING TO DISCUSS OUR VARIOUS
REPORTS.
MIKE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
THIS IS THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE
OF MY LIFE IS TO SERVE AS VICE
PRESIDENT TO A PRESIDENT WHO'S
KEEPING HIS WORD TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
ASSEMBLING A TEAM THAT'S
BRINGING REAL CHANGE, REAL
PROSPERITY AND REAL STRENGTH
BACK TO OUR NATION.
>> THANK YOU, MIKE.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IT'S GREAT TO
BE HERE AND CELEBRATE THIS
GROUP.
WE ARE RECEIVING AS YOU KNOW,
I'M NOT SURE THE REST OF YOU
FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SUPPORT,
BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT ALL OVER
AMERICA, THEY HAVE BEEN VERY
FRUSTRATED.
THEY ARE SO THRILLED THAT WE
HAVE A NEW IDEA THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SUPPORT THEM AND WORK
TOGETHER TO PROPERLY, LAWFULLY
FIGHT THE RISING CRIME THAT
WE'RE SEEING.
IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO
SERVE YOU IN THAT REGARD AND TO
SEND THE EXACT RIGHT MESSAGE AND
THE RESPONSE IS FABULOUS AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
>> GREAT SUCCESS, INCLUDING MS
13.
THEY'RE BEING THROWN OUT IN
RAPID NUMBERS AND RAPIDLY.
THEY'RE BEING DEPLETED.
THEY'LL ALL BE GONE SOON.
YOU'RE RIGHT, JEFF.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALEX.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IT IS MY
PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMITMENT TO THE AMERICAN
WORKERS.
THIS WEEK IS A FULL SCHEDULED
FOR YOU FOCUSING ON THE AMERICAN
WORKER.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ANNOUNCING I
THINK IS GOING TO MAKE A REAL
DIFFERENCE.
SO THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, HONOR TO BE ON
THE TEAM.
THIS LAST WEEK I HAD THE GREAT
PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT AMERICA
IN CHINA AT THE GREEN ENERGY.
GOOD TIMING.
THEY NEEDED TO HEAR WHY AMERICA
WAS STEPPING AWAY FROM THE PARIS
ACCORD AND THEY DID AND THAT
AMERICA IS NOT STEPPING BACK,
BUT WE'RE STEPPING INTO PLACE
AND SENDING SOME MESSAGES THAT
WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE LEADERS
IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO
THE CLIMATE, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING
TO BE HELD HOSTAGE TO SOME
EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WAS ILL
THOUGHT OUT.
MY HATS OFF TO YOU FOR TAKING
THAT STAND AND PRESENTING A
CLEAR MESSAGE AROUND THE WORLD
THAT AMERICA'S GOING TO CONTINUE
TO LEAD IN THE AREA OF ENERGY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
IT'S A NEW DAY AT THE UNITED
NATIONS.
WE NOW HAVE A VERY STRONG VOICE.
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE UNITED
STATES IS FOR.
THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE AGAINST.
THEY SEE US LEADING ACROSS THE
BOARD.
SO I THINK THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY KNOWS WE'RE BACK.
>> THANK YOU.
THAT'S GREAT.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS
ABOUT THE BUDGET.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY
NEED IT.
WE WERE ABLE TO ALSO FOCUS ON
THE FORGOTTEN MAN AND WOMAN WHO
WERE PAYING THOSE TAXES.
I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT IN
SUPPORTING THAT BUDGET.
>> GOOD TO BE BACK IN THE UNITED
STATES.
I ARRIVED BACK THIS MORNING AT
1:00 FROM ITALY IN THE G 7
SUMMIT FOCUSED ON THE
ENVIRONMENT AND OUR MESSAGE
THERE WAS THE UNITED STATES IS
GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON GROWTH
AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
>> GOOD MORNING, MR. PRESIDENT.
THIS COMMUNITY HAS NEVER FACED
SUCH AN ADVERSITY OF THREATS TO
OUR COUNTRY IN OUR LIFETIME.
WE HAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
WORKING 24/7 SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ON TOP
OF ALL THESE THREATS.
IT'S A JOY TO BE WORKING WITH
THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE INHERITED
AND WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE --
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE
VERY BEST INTELLIGENCE WE CAN SO
YOU CAN FORMULATE POLICIES TO
DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IT'S A
PRIVILEGE TO SERVE, TO SERVE THE
STUDENTS OF THIS COUNTRY, AND TO
WORK TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD
AS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO GET A
GREAT EDUCATION AND THEREFORE A
GREAT FUTURE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT AN
INCREDIBLE HONOR IT IS TO LEAD
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES AT THIS TIME
UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THE
LEADERSHIP YOU'VE SHOWN.
SEEMS LIKE THERE'S AN
INTERNATIONAL FLAIR TO THE
MESSAGES BEING DELIVERED.
I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES IN
BERLIN AND THE WORLD HEALTH
ASSEMBLY AND I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW EXCITED FOLKS ARE ABOUT THE
UNITED STATES LEADERSHIP AS
RELATED TO GLOBAL HEALTH
SECURITY.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, AS YOUR SEAL
ON YOUR STAFF, IT'S AN HONOR TO
BE YOUR STEWARD OF OUR PUBLIC
LAND AND ENERGY.
I AM COMMITTED AND OPTIMISTIC
THAT WE CAN BE BOTH GREAT
STEWARDS AND BE THE WORLD'S
LARGEST PRODUCER OF ENERGY.
>> WE CAN DO BOTH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR
THE HONOR TO SERVE THE COUNTRY.
IT'S A GREAT PRIVILEGE YOU'VE
GIVEN ME.
CLEARLY WE ARE ENGAGED WITH OUR
ALLIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY KNOW
WHERE OUR COMMON INTERESTS LIE,
WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE, THAT
AMERICA WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
LEADER, BUT THEY MUST DO MORE.
THEY MUST MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS
BOTH FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY
STANDPOINT BUT ALSO FOR CREATING
CONDITIONS OF STABILITY,
PROSPERITY AND FOR OUR
ADVERSARIES WE ARE ENGAGING AND
WILL ENGAGE BUT THEY HAVE TO
KNOW THAT WE WILL BE ENGAGING
FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH TO
PROTECT AMERICA'S NATIONAL
INTEREST AND WE EXPECT TO MAKE
PROGRESS IN RESOLVING SOME OF
THESE DIFFERENCES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IT'S AN HONOR
TO REPRESENT THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE
SACRIFICES OUR PEOPLE ARE MAKING
IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN OUR
MILITARY SO OUR DIPLOMATS ALWAYS
NEGOTIATE FROM A POSITION OF
STRENGTH.
THANK YOU.
>> MR. PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP FIX THE TRADE DEFICIT AND
OTHER THINGS.
THE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE
GRADUALLY GETTING USED TO THE
[INAUDIBLE]
THEY'RE NOT HAPPY WITH IT, BUT I
AM THRILLED TO HAVE A CHANCE TO
HELP YOU LIVE UP TO YOUR
CAMPAIGN PROMISES.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, LAST WEEK WAS
A GREAT WEEK.
IT WAS INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION.
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
WERE JUST SO THRILLED HANGING
OUT WATCHING THE WHOLE CEREMONY.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GETTING
THIS COUNTRY MOVING AGAIN AND
ALSO WORKING AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, PROUD TO BE
HERE.
CERTAINLY VERY PROUD TO
REPRESENT THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT
SERVED THE COUNTRY IN DHS.
IN THE FIVE MONTH I'VE BEEN IN
THE JOB WE HAVE GONE A LONG WAY
TO FACILITATE AND PROVE THE
LEGAL MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND
PROGRESS ACROSS OUR BORDERS.
YET AT THE SAME TIME HAVE GONE A
LONG WAY TO SAFEGUARDING OUR
BORDERS, PARTICULARLY THE
SOUTHERN BORDER.
WORKING WITH ALL OF OUR PARTNERS
TO THE SOUTH.
70% DROP IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
WHILE WE STILL WELCOME LEGAL
IMMIGRANTS TO THE TUNE OF OVER A
MILLION A YEAR, WE ARE NO LONGER
A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR
ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, FIRST OF ALL,
I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE FOR
WORK.
IN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS I GOT
BOGGED DOWN IN THAT SWAMP.
I ALSO HAVE TRAVELED, I JUST GOT
BACK FROM PARIS AND THE MESSAGE
WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT IT WAS.
THAT DEFICITS DO MATTER AND ARE
COMING DOWN.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AT SBA.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS I HAVEN'T
BEEN TRAVELING INTERNATIONALLY,
BUT I'VE BEEN TRAVELING AROUND
THE COUNTRY AND WHAT I'M
CONTINUING TO HEAR IS THIS
RENEWED OPTIMISM FROM SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IT'S HIGHER THAN IT'S BEEN IN
ABOUT 16 YEARS.
SO THOSE PEOPLE RETURNING TO THE
WORK FORCE, A LOT OF THEM ARE
BECAUSE SMALL BUSINESSES ARE
CREATING NEW JOBS.
PORTFOLIOS ARE UP.
MENTORING AND OUR OUT REACH, THE
PROGRAMS ARE BEING SO
SUCCESSFUL.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE ON A GOOD TRAJECTORY AND
STILL A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
>> ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE
SENIOR STAFF, MR. PRESIDENT, WE
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
AND THE BLESSING THAT YOU'VE
GIVEN US TO SERVE YOUR AGENDA
AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK VERY
HARD EVERY DAY TO ACCOMPLISH
THOSE GOALS.
>> IT'S AN HONOR TO SERVE.
IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO LEAD THE MEN
AND WOMEN SO WE CAN DO THE
NATIONAL SECURITY MISSION.
I'M NOT GOING TO SAY A DAMN
THING TO THE MEDIA.
{ LAUGHTER }

YOUR SUPPORT AND HONORING OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO AMERICA'S
VETERANS.

VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.

AMERICAN VETERANS THAT HAVE DONE
SUCH GREAT THINGS FOR THIS
COUNTRY AND I WORKED EVERY DAY
TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HONORING THAT
RESPONSIBILITY.

GREAT HONOR TO WORK WITH YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRONG

SAVINGS THERE.

HOMEOWNERS MONTH AND THEREFORE
I'LL BE RINGING THE BELL AT WALL
